La responsabilité des autorités publiques italiennes dans les violences frontalières contre les migrants [The Responsibility of Italian Public Authorities for Border Violence against Migrants]
No full textDepuis plusieurs années, la mer Méditerranée est le théâtre d’actes de violence à l’encontre des personnes migrantes, en partie causés par le refus par les autorités publiques de mener des opérations de secours et sauvetage en mer. Cet article s’appuie sur les contentieux qui ont été traités par les magistrats italiens concernant les migrants qui se sont approchés des frontières italiennes et en expose les caractéristiques les plus pertinentes. L’objectif principal de cette réflexion est d’interroger les responsabilités des autorités publiques s’agissant de non-assistance à des personnes en situation de détresse en mer. Si ces affaires ont connu un fort retentissement médiatique, elles ont donné lieu à des décisions très décevantes des juges dans les cas très rares qui ont pu être portés devant les tribunaux
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Il peso delle parole nelle sentenze: note a margine di una importante pronuncia della Corte EDU in tema di vittimizzazione secondaria (J.L. c. Italia, ricorso n. 5671/16)
Get PDFThis work examines the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the
case J.L. v. Italy, through which the Italian State has been condemned for the violation of the
conventional constraints arising from Article 8 ECHR, related to the respect of the applicant’s
privacy. The case brought before the national authorities dealt with the alleged group rape which
took place in Florence in the summer of 2008. The criminal proceedings against the accused ended
with a verdict of acquittal by the Court of Appeal of Florence, which in its reasons assigned
particular importance to the family status of the woman, her sexual orientation, the clothing worn
that night, or the artistic choices made by the victim in the past. The European Court viewed this
justification as discriminatory and held that such considerations are completely out of place, and
therefore, they breach the applicant’s fundamental rights, guaranteed by the Convention. This ruling
is relevant from the point of view of the so-called secondary victimization, which emerges here due
to the use of stereotypes connected to female victims of sexual violence. As such, the Author argues
that the discriminatory evaluations of the Court of Appeal of Florence could be also assessed within
the framework of the disciplinary procedure at national level. This would make the fight against this “secondary” type of violence more effective, which de facto creates obstacles to the timely
interruption of the so-called cycle of violence, in which many women are still involved
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
